Lighting Industry's New Normal Seems to Be in Effect, NLB Says. Lighting-Systems Index Continues Decline

Shepherdstown, WV - Lighting-equipment demand fell 4.7% between the second and third quarters of 2016, according to data developed by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) for its Lighting-Systems Index (LSI), a seasonality- and inflation-adjusted composite measure of luminaires, ballasts, miniature lamps, large lamps, and emergency lighting shipped throughout the United States by NEMA members. NEMA used 2002 data to create the LSI's 100-point benchmark.

According to Laurie M. Miller, NEMA's director of statistical operations, the year-over-year LSI decline was even more dramatic: Third-quarter 2016 demand was 9.7% less than third-quarter 2015 demand. Demand fell for all monitored equipment: luminaires, ballasts, miniature lamps, large lamps, and emergency lighting.
